IMLS Grant Update: Fedora Migration Paths and Tools

Work on the IMLS-funded Fedora Migration Paths and Tools project began this month with two pilot kick-off meetings: University of Virginia and Whitman College. The grant team met with each pilot institution to establish roles, responsibilities, goals, and timelines. The project plans are still be being finalized, but you can follow the public GitHub project boards to keep track of progress on the pilots. In October the focus will be on preparing the University of Virginia's Fedora 3 data for migration, as well as progress toward a verification utility. Stay tuned for further updates!
